Linear Heat Detection
for Scaffold
Protect Lives. Safeguard Projects. Stay Compliant.
Scaffold is essential to many re-cladding and large-scale refurbishment projects — but when it wraps around occupied buildings, it brings a new level of fire risk. If timber scaffold boards are used (as they often still are), a fire can develop undetected and rapidly, putting residents and the construction project at serious risk. That’s where Howler’s Linear Heat Detection (LHD) comes in.
What is LHD?
LHD uses a heat-sensitive cable installed along the scaffold. When it reaches a trigger temperature, it instantly signals the alarm — whether that’s to residents, site teams, or an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). It provides early warning before fire takes hold — even out of hours — protecting people, progress, and peace of mind.
